Christ's Love 81

Kiss The cross is primarily a place of God's love. There, God's first love for all people shines forth. Jesus beckons men and women, boys and girls to the transforming and regenerating love of the Body of Christ. A cross at the end of a letter marks the sender's love. On my Valentine cards as a teenager I marked little encoded messages like S. W. A. L. K. meaning "Sealed With A Loving Kiss" and H. O. L. L. A. N. D. "Hope Our Love Lasts And Never Dies!" In the same way the cross of Jesus is a cryptogram of God's love, a kiss blown across the ages.

Child in a hat By returning God's love and opening our arms wide to him we become his children. He promises, "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." Christianity is based on this kind of life-changing encounter with Jesus. It finds its perfection in the group of Christians who united by Christ become the household Body of Christ. When he touches our lives others will say, "you have kept this good wine till now!"

"The Mystical Body of Jesus Christ in Me."
